Kartridge Kracker
Kartridge Kracker – 1985. Allowed you to dump 8K and 16K cartridges onto a disk to load later. I have not been able to find the software or hardware for this. NOTE the C64 cartridge port AND a Vic-20 port both on this one card! I also scanned the small manual (including an Erratta Page and an index card with a manual correction) in and you can read it here: Kartridge Kracker Manual
More info from Jim Drew: This is a pseudo-copy of the “blue board” that was developed for CompuTron Buisness Systems by Cardco. I wrote the software for it in 1983.
The larger cartridge port is for a 16K VIC-20 RAM expansion. You would copy the C64 cartridge to disk and load it back to the 16K RAM expansion, and write protect the RAM with a dip switch. This emulates a cartridge perfectly. No need to crack anything, like changes to $01.
Screen shots and Video are below.

Neuromancer Code Wheel
Neuromancer also uses a code wheel. When you use the PAX machine (see picture) you are given three access codes and you are asked for a verification code.
Here is an image of the C64 code wheel, which was not purple as shown in some photos.
I bought this game so I could take apart the code wheel and scan them in. So here is the PDF of the top and bottom for Neuromancer codewheel
Choosing a Copy Program
This is a short article about choosing a copy program.
Interesting Notion
Here is a short article about which copy program can copy it’s self. I’ve said it before I always judge copy programs this way BITD. I figure if the program can not even copy it’s self, then it can’t be that good.
